Boundaries & Agreements

The work I offer can involve vulnerability, intimacy, touch and strong emotions. Clear boundaries are therefore an essential part of creating a space where both of us can feel safe, respected and at ease.

These agreements are here so you know exactly what to expect before you enter the space. Consent, communication and mutual respect are at the centre of every session.

 

Receiving touch

Unless we have specifically agreed otherwise as part of an exercise, touch during a session is one-way: you receive, I give.

You may experience arousal, affection or an impulse to touch back. These responses are completely welcome as experiences — but they do not change the boundaries of the session. You can simply notice what is happening and continue to receive.

Touch for learning

There may be occasions where non-sexual touch is part of an educational exercise — for example, learning about conscious touch, communication, receiving or expressing a boundary.

If this happens, we will agree clearly beforehand what the exercise involves, where touch may take place and what your role is. Nothing happens without your consent, and you can change your mind at any point.

No sexual interaction

My work can include sensuality, erotic awareness and exploration of sexuality, but I do not provide sexual services or engage in sexual activity with clients.

Sensual or erotic feelings may naturally arise during this kind of work. They are welcome to be noticed and explored as part of your experience, while the professional boundaries of our work remain clear.

No romantic relationships

A deep sense of connection can develop within a session. You may experience feelings of intimacy, affection or even attraction — and there is nothing wrong with that.

At the same time, I do not date or enter romantic relationships with clients. Maintaining this boundary protects the clarity and integrity of the space we create together.

You can always change your mind

Consent is ongoing. You can pause, change or stop an exercise at any moment, for any reason, without needing to justify yourself. I will do the same.

Clear boundaries don’t reduce intimacy — they create the freedom to explore within them.

My intention is that you always know where you stand, what is possible, what isn’t, and that you can relax into the experience knowing that your boundaries will be respected.
